Take Your Sealcoating to the Next Level!

Designed for contractors with an understanding of sealcoating basics, this session will take you and your business to the next sealcoating level so you can provide an even better sealcoating product to your customers. From a sealcoating expert you’ll learn the intricacies of sealer composition, “best practice” methods of application (for one, two or multiple coats of sealer), and drying and cure under proper ambient conditions to achieve optimum performance. You’ll also learn how (and why) to alter mix designs to suit pavement and climatic conditions, and the importance of applying the right amount of sealer through determination of wet and dry film thickness. Special attention will be paid to the various additives, including what they do (and don’t do) to the sealer and how and when they should be used. Set yourself apart from your competition by knowing your business better and by understanding sealcoating’s finer — but essential — elements. Don’t miss this opportunity to become the local “expert” on sealcoating asphalt pavements!
